I'm trying to update my Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10... But I get this error message:pkgProblemResolver:Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages
I tried to disable all the repositories, and also "sudo apt-get -f"... But still having this error message...
I installed 10.04 (clean install) on a 250G drive (partitioned to 107G for the system files). It was working fine, until I wanted to install Window$ for the use of Adobe stuff. I popped the Windows XP disc in, it loaded its files, then I tried to choose a partition for installation. There was an error saying that I can't do that, and needed to delete a partition blah blah. I thought it was too much trouble, so I quit and just wanted to use my 10.04. Booted, and it says "Error booting operating system" I WAS SHOCKED.
I tried to install grub (but don't need that right? I DO NOT want to dual boot now), but the usual method ( the sudo grub; root (hd0.0)...) doesn't work ,because something like "stage1" is missing. I tried many methods by still the same error. The reason I do not want a clean install is that I did many fixes on my 10.04 so that it would work with my EeePC 1001pxd, and I do not want to go through that again. I will be checking my email frequently on other computers if I have a chance.

Cant boot windows or ubuntu
Well i have two hard drives, i used wubi on windows (which is on my c: drive) to put ubuntu 10.10 on my d: drive. Everything was running smoothly until the update manager uptated ubuntu.

Previously on 10.10 "sudo update-grub" took 2-3 seconds.
I upgraded to 11.04 and it now takes 10 - 15 minutes.
Is unity generally much slower than GNOME?
I have recently updated my Fedora 11 installation which replaced my older 167 kernel with the newer 217 kernel. However, the 217 kernel will not boot completely. It will show the splash loading screen, and then will switch to a rapidly blinking cursor. This cursor blinks for about 5 seconds and then disappears. I can access terminals using ALT+F2, etc. I can log in to these terminals, but init commands do not complete (something about a binary handler). I'm not sure if something is conflicting with an update to X or what is wrong. The most recent kernel that I managed to get to work was Kernel 167, however I cannot find this kernel for download.

I just migrated into Ubuntu 9.10 from Windows and moved my mail profiles and also my bookmarks to Thunderbird and Firefox.
I can't see the Mail profiles and messages unless I run "sudo thunderbird" and I can't save or edit bookmarks in Firefox unless I run "sudo firefox".
Probably it's best if I don't run Firefox or Thunderbird as root, eh?
I've tried changing the file permissions for bookmarks.html, but no luck. And haven't even tried to tackle the Thunderbird issue yet.
why does a machine try to resolve host when I issue 'sudo -i' or some other command prefixed with sudo.What is happening in the background?

I can also log into awesome, but nothing works! I can open the menu on the top left of the screen, but when I click on e.g. "Open Terminal", nothing happens.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am suddenly not prompted for my password when I run any command as sudo on a few of my Ubuntu servers.
if I run sudo -K, the session is cleared, and I am prompted again for my password, however it saves/caches it until I run sudo -k again even if I log out and back in. I want it to prompt me for my password, as it should (and did) by default, for security.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Here's my /etc/sudoers file code...
I'm running into an issue on my fedora installations getting sudo insults to work. I'm fairly new to the distro, but in other distros, I just had to add insults to the Defaults line within visudo. Then I could sudo -K to reset my sudo session and it worked.
Since I installed sudo from yum, I suppose it's possible that insult support is not built into the rpm. I'm sure others got it working and I was hoping not to have to manually compile sudo with insults support as I don't want to break yum for updates/upgrades. If that's the only option, I'm more than happy to go that route, just would like it as a last resort.
